House For Sale £415,000
Tucked away on a quiet little lane, the aptly named Dream Cottage represents the ideal village getaway.
Double-fronted and with a traditional, and very attractive, brick and flint exterior, the cottage is only a little over a decade old.
The downstairs is almost equally divided between the pretty and practical kitchen/breakfast room, on one side, and the cosy, bright living room on the other.
The living room has a wooden floor and central log burner which means it has an almost period-cottage feel and a pair of french doors open up to give access out to the south-facing garden. In addition to these two rooms downstairs, there is also a WC and pantry.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms which share a very contemporary shower room. One of the bedrooms is larger than the other and the current owners have considered adding an en-suite, for which there would be ample space.
Outside, and to the front, there is paved off-street parking for two cars and at the rear, the south-facing garden is a combination of patio and lawn. It is completely enclosed, adding security for both children and pets to enjoy this space.
Dream Cottage has been a much-loved home-from-home for the current owners for the past decade. They, like so many, have loved the peacefulness of this village, but the convenience too for all the wonders north Norfolk has to offer.
DOCKING Docking is arguably one of Norfolk's best hideaways, just four miles from the sea yet a comfortable breeze away from the coastal crowds in the heat of summer, and within a comfortable drive of the market towns of Fakenham and elegant Holt.
Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk's highest points at 272ft and was once known as 'Dry Docking', because of its lack of drinking water. A well was sunk in the village in the 18th century and residents paid a farthing per bucket until a mains supply was installed in 1936. The small village played a key role in World War II when the RAF Docking airfield operated between 1940-1958, and nearby Docking Hall housed serving actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy and Warren Mitchell during this time.
Today, a strong village community exists and Docking has a thriving nursery and primary school, and the heart-warming sound of young children enjoying playtime often echoes in the surrounding streets, as it has for centuries. Well-serviced, Docking also has a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court and bowling green, along with a popular fish and chip shop and good local, The Railway Inn.
Buyers are spoilt for choice with a wide range of property including traditional, brick and flint and whitewashed cottages, classic Georgian houses and a growing range of quality new-build homes. One of the latest additions is Four Miles, so called for its short distance from the coastline at Thornham and Brancaster, which offers a range of quality cottages, barns and apartments on generous plots, sympathetically designed to fit in with their country location.
You may be inspired to try your hand at The Good Life and grow your own, but if you lack a green thumb try the weekly farmer's market at the village's Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with super-fresh produce from local smallholders and jars and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.
